Cory Doctorow rocks! I check his blog about ten times a day, because
he's always one of the first to notice a major incursion from the
social-technological-pop-cultural future, and his voice is a compelling
vehicle for news from the future. Down and Out in The Magic Kingdom is
about a world that is visible in its outlines today, if you know where
to look, from reputation systems to peer-to-peer adhocracies. Doctorow
knows where to look, and how to word-paint the rest of us into the
picture.
